C29 (2/2)

The young official weighed the banknotes in his hand, smiled and said, ”Alright then, don't stay here for too long, let's go!”

”Grandfather …” Where are you going, big brother? I want to go too! ” I looked back at the little girl, bent down and picked her up, ”Old Master, you and my master know each other, so we can be considered relatives. How about I take her back for a few days to play, or at most send her back.”

The old man hesitated for a moment, but he could not resist the little girl's pleadings. ”Alright then …” ”You must remember to come back after ten days. Don't cause trouble or run around!”

”I understand grandpa. I will definitely listen to this big brother.”

”Old Master, I'll be taking my leave now. Thank you for saving me today!”

”Go back and greet your master for me.” I led the little girl out of the city gate. Suddenly, my eyes lit up as a white light appeared in front of me.

”Liu Guan Sheng...” ”Liu Shangguan Sheng, wake up …” A shout sounded by my ear and I slowly opened my eyes. I abruptly sat up and realised that I was actually lying on my bed in my bedroom.

I weakly sat up and said doubtfully, ”I … Why am I here? ”

”You finally woke up. You almost worried us to death, and I almost wanted to send you to the hospital.”

Guan Rou took a cup of water and passed it to me. ”You've already been unconscious for three days and three nights.”

Three days? I remember it was just one night … I was at a loss. What was going on?

Slowly, I got out of bed and found that I was feeling weak. Luckily, Huan Rou helped me into the bathroom. I took off my clothes and took a shower. My body also recovered a lot of strength.

I changed my clothes and walked out of the bathroom. I whispered to Guan Rou, ”Did I really sleep for three days?”

Guan Rou said in a soft voice, ”Yes, you must be hungry …” Why don't you go out and have a meal? ”

I didn't feel it even if she didn't mention it. My stomach was still doing its best after not eating for three days, so I didn't growl.

Guan Rou and I found a restaurant and sat down and ordered a table full of dishes. My appetite was greatly piqued. After sweeping up all the dishes, I patted my stomach in satisfaction.

Guan Rou said in a soft voice, ”You've been keeping me busy these past few days.”

”Oh yeah, how is Han Mengchen?”

”Her complexion is pretty good, but you …” Han Mengchen and I saw that you didn't come back for the whole night and were a bit worried, so when we went out to look for you the next morning, we found you lying outside our house. ”

”Oh, but I escorted that pervert into a small forest. Afterwards, I returned here with the help of an old man.” Thinking about that old man, I felt as if I had forgotten something, but I just couldn't remember what it was.

Guan Rou got up and went to the counter to settle the bill. We walked out of the restaurant. Guan Rou said that she wanted to go to the station, so she didn't send me back. As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw a little girl squatting in front of my house.

”Aiyo, my brain …” I slapped my brain and finally remembered. How did I forget about this little girl?

If I lose her, it'll be troublesome. What if that old man asks for someone from me?

I hastily went over and asked, ”Where did you run off to last night? Why didn't I see you?”

”Big brother …” I've been waiting here for a long time and you still haven't come back. ” The little girl pouted and said to me with an innocent expression. I opened the door and led her inside.
